In my time at UBC, only one candidate has ever lost a Yes/No vote. Diana Diao, the former Science Senator, PRO and General Science rep ran for the latter position unopposed, but due to a quirk, was unable to vote for herself. Zero ballots were cast in that election, and in a Yes/No vote, that counts as a loss. Council ignored this and appointed her anyway.

Joel McLaughlin tied 20 Yes, 20 No, in my first year at UBC in an acclamation for 3 Arts AMS Representatives. Because it was a tie, Elections Administrator Lianne McLean voted in favour of the status quo, that is, having Joel continue as an AMS Rep.
